Question For Parents With Kids In Elementary School

Recommended Posts

Just when I thought the school year was finally running smoothly...it's over. School ended today. My child attends after school care at her elementary school, which turns into summer camp with 3 field trips a week. Her Kindergarten teacher is great. The after school group kill me.

It has been a crazy two weeks for other reasons so today I stop in to talk to the after school director. Short version is my childs epi-pen is in the bottom drawer of a file cabinet in the shopping bag that I dropped it off in months ago. There is no paperwork, emergency plan, nothing. The school nurse is gone for the summer.

Aren't all schools required to have county paper work about all medications? Emergency plans? Aren't all medications supposed to be locked?

How many of you have a "504" for your child? I have been hesitant to set up a 504 because it seems so confrontational. What are the negatives in setting up a 504? Does it affect her health insurance/life insurance later? Has the school been resistant or had a bad reaction to you establiushing a 504? Most everyone has been very open to learning about the food issues in our family. This is the first time that I have a group that has control of my child and will not care for her correctly. What would you do? I am working on pulling her out for the summer, but she will very likely have to go back for the fall. I have to work and the school is the safest when it comes to the food issues.

Any advice???

in the area I live in they kid with any kind of medication or medical condition is required to have a formed filled out and signed by the doctor. My older child has asthma and an inhailer. Now in our area we don't have an afterschool program so I am not sure how that works. I would guess the site supervisor should have had you fill out some kind of paperwork and I would guess the epi pen should be kept in a area away from other kids and with the other medications or allowed to be carried on person like my daughter does with her inhailer.

I would get a 504 if I were you, that way there is a set plan in place on documentation.

      thank yo, i still eat a bit of dairy and a fair amount of processed foods. I wonder if I have sibo... I will look into that

      I think the best you will be able to do is to find out if gluten, or at least wheat, barley or rye is an intentional ingredient in a smoke product and only the manufacturer can answer that question. Since smokes are regulated by the AFT and not the FDA, allergens are not required to be declared in the labeling.

      yes i understand that pectin is gluten free ty.  i want to know if any cigars are gluten free its a simple question
    • trents
      Welcome to the forum, @brian weinstein! Gluten is a protein found in wheat barley and rye kernels. Pectin is a polysaccharide (a very complex sugar) found in the cell walls of fruits and vegetables. It is most commonly used as a thickening agent in food products, particularly jellies. So, pectin is naturally gluten free. That is not to the same as saying the cigar is gluten free.  Personally, I am reluctant to text you. I think most of us would feel the same way. Too many people already have access to our cell phone numbers.
